A new, 54-unit senior apartment building may soon be constructed at the corner of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Pendleton in the Vandeventer neighborhood. The address is 4232 Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, currently a large vacant lot. The development is currently known as Vandeventer Place. The designer is Rosemann and Associates.

The project was reviewed by the City’s Cultural Resources Office (CRO) in its latest agenda due to the fact that the site is within the Ville Local Historic District. The agenda recommends that that the City’s Preservation Board, which meets this upcoming Monday, grant preliminary approval to the project.
